Emerge models or best practices to propose the implementation of a health information system that enhances healthcare operations and improves patient outcomes.
Preparation
In the assignment, you will write a 4–6 page proposal and create a 1–2 minute maximum elevator pitch recording that proposes the improvement of a health information system. You can choose to focus on the health information system in your current workplace or the Vila Health simulated healthcare organization (Vila Health: Health Information System Improvement). If you choose your current workplace, ensure that you have access to sufficient information about the system to fulfill the requirements of the assignment.
The written proposal should include a comprehensive plan that addresses the existing issues with the system, proposes improvements, identifies the expected benefits, and outlines the methods for measuring these benefits. In addition, it should share a financial evaluation and at least three recommendations based on your evaluation.
Next, your task is to craft a concise (elevator) pitch recording, lasting no longer than 1–2 minutes. In this pitch, give a brief summary of why your suggestions for enhancing the HIM system will have a positive impact on healthcare operations and patient outcomes. The goal is to immediately capture the interest of your CEO or board, compelling them to want to hear more.
